--- Comment #12 from Sage Ross <[email protected]> --- Thanks Andrew. I think what is happening in most cases is that instructors are pressing 'back' on their browsers or otherwise trying more than once to create the same course. The consecutive ids are likely a coincidence because there were no other courses created in the meantime in most cases. According to the logs (which will not be complete for some courses, as one now-fixed bug resulted in no logs or page history entries for a while), all the consecutive ids were created for a second time the same day, from 0 to 10 minutes after the first creation. The one with non-consecutive ids has creation events separate by a few weeks, and I suspect that the instructor manually added the same title and "re-created" their existing course (possibly in an effort to find their course page). I just confirmed on test2.wikipedia that I can "create" the same course over and over again using the create form at Special:Courses (including by pressing back on the browser after submitting it), even though the existing content is loaded. The interface message beneath the "Adding course..." page title also says (incorrectly): "There is no course with this name yet, but you can add it." The correct behavior should be for the extension to recognize when someone is trying to "create" a course that already exists, and provide them with a link to the course instead of the create/edit form. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
